Hey guys,
Does pike push ups involving rear delts?

 

[spdrew2143]

No, just anterior and posterior delts.

Correct. Your posterior delts are going to be used for horizontal abduction, shoulder extension, and external rotation. Think pulling exercises: Pull ups, chin ups, and all types of rows.

[No Skill Gap]

- Face pulls with bands (google form)

- Retard pec deck machine (covid-19 gyms)

- Rows (virtually every variation)

- Pronated pull-ups, wide grip especially. neutral/supinated will less so I'd say but still do.

- Vigorously masturbating at a 45 degree angle with shoulder blades retracted

That guy has the physique of a guy who’s never trained heavy in his life.

Maybe. But he can do one arm chin-ups, so it's not like he isn't strong.

Only impressive if you're over 200 lbs (or weighted). How much does Athlean weigh? A buck fitty?

No idea what he weighs, but probably between 150-165.

Aren't 1 arm chins like doing a chin with your bodyweight hanging on you? I don't think you have to be over 200 for that to be impressive. Maybe my standards are too low but I think that's pretty reasonable strength. Harder for bigger guys for sure but it's still impressive I think.

In my experience that's a false equivalency.

I worked hard as hell to do a one armed pull up and I finally got it on my right arm, pretty close on the left. And my weighted pullups didn't improve tremendously. I weighed 170lbs at that point and my weighted pullups stalled at 85lbs for a set of 5-6. Good amount of technique involved too.

Nah - it's harder than just a +bodyweight chin-up as you also have to factor in the way your body will naturally try to twist against the movement. I believe any unilateral movement is usually estimated as being more difficult than simply halving the weight of the same movement with both limbs as well.

(EDIT: this is in the case that you aren't specifically training for a one-armed chin-up consistently, more just doing it sporadically - training it as a specific movement is different to just "being strong enough" to do it)
